In this episode of Before it reaches them, I am talking about something many of us never experienced growing up: a parent saying "I'm sorry." Apologizing to our kids can feel uncomfortable, especially when we were raised to believe parents are never wrong. But repair is not weakness, its leadership.

This episode explores why apologizing feels so hard, how it makes connections stronger, and simple ways to take responsibility after we react. Because breaking cycles isn’t about being perfect. It’s about coming back and making things right.
